Giveaway Friday and a Big Announcement!

And All The Inappropriately Capitalized Words That Go Along With Both Of Those Things!

Today we are super excited because we’ve been keeping a TIGHT lid on this one. Well, actually, we really haven’t. It’s been leaked, hinted at and even alluded to left, right and center. But now we can officially tell you all about our exciting new collaboration with Anna Branner of Anna Branner’s Cloth n’ Clay!

Thanks to the suggestion of one of our favorite aunties of all time, Lauria, we approached Anna, who as you already know from a Giveaway Friday from a few weeks ago, makes absolutely beautiful pottery, and asked her if she would make us a line of JMF specific yarn bowls and mugs. We were so excited by this it felt like we were asking her to marry us. Well guess what?

She said yes!

So here’s what she’s made for us.  First, lovely, beautiful yarn bowls with the JMF logo on the front:

What’s so awesome about these hand made yarn bowls is that each one has a little something special and completely unique on the back.  You won’t know what you’re getting, but it’s guaranteed to be adorable and a half!  Here’s a little sneak peek of what you might find if you order one:

(and my personal favorite)

Charlie Peeg!

There are others, too, of course, I just wanted to show you a few.

The other thing Miss Anna has for us are her beautiful coffee mugs:

I love them!  What’s especially great about these coffee mugs, and you wouldn’t necessarily know this just by looking at them, but you can ALSO make TEA in them! So, let’s say coffee isn’t your particular drink, that’s just fine!  These mugs make tea and coffee taste equally wonderful.  You know, I don’t want to incite any riots here, but I’ll bet if you were a hot chocolate fan…  no, I don’t want to press my luck here.  But I’m just saying, you could try it.

These lovely mugs and yarn bowls are dishwasher and microwave safe, and currently waiting for their forever homes.  You can find them in our shop and pick out one of your very own.  In addition, Anna will be at shearing selling the yarn bowls, mugs AND the little sheepies in person.

Now yes, this is Friday, so don’t you fret lil campers, we are prepared like Boy Scouts.  To kick off this exciting new collaboration, we are giving away a mug AND an adorable little sheepy for one lucky winner!

To enter, go to her blog and answer this question, “If you could sit down to a hot beverage of your choice, with any one person (living or dead) who would it be and why?”  *NOTE:  Some people are having a problem commenting on Anna’s blog.  If you have a problem with that then please just leave your answer on ours.*  Then come back here and tell us what else you want Anna to make for us (cereal bowls, anyone?)  A very lucky winner will be chosen randomly on Monday and will be drinking their hot drink of choice within DAYS!  THAT COULD BE YOU!!
